Taking Pictures at Default Settings

Holding the camera correctly

Hold the handgrip in your right hand and cradle the camera body or lens with your left.

Brace your elbows against your sides and hold the camera with both hands.

CAUTION

Moving the camera while shooting gives a blurred picture (camera shake). Hold the camera steadily with both hands.

If the lens, flash or AF-assist illuminator is obscured by your fingers or the strap, subjects may be out of focus or the brightness (exposure) of your shot may be incorrect.

3 Focus on the main subject in the center focus bracket and press the shutter button down halfway.
